FOR THE WIN.

 

Anacron's "Rich Girls" UNFAMOUS Remix Contest closes with a bang, and after tumultuous bumps, the winners have been chosen! After several days of deliberation, the contest judges (Tiffology, DJ Audio 1, Ryan Monk, Moonsatellite, and the PNTGLLRYNTWRK's own JusChris) have selected the following pieces as the outstanding best of just under 20 entries.

Anacron - Rich Girls (MAW Remix) by MAW. 18-year old Australian DJ/producer Matt Watkins can be found doing his thing on the decks at various clubs around Melbourne, when he's not making smooth, futuristic tracks like this. Follow and hear many more of his tunes HERE.

Anacron - Rich Girls (n8 the gr8-remix) by n8thegr8cuf. West coast underground veteran producer and lyricist N8 The Gr8 has been rocking for years as a member of the legendary bay-area outfit The CUF, and has recently moved into producing and releasing artists from his stable, N-Crowd. Check out more of his latest masterpieces HERE. 

Anacron-Rich Girls (Siggatunez RMX) by siggatunez|siggi tunezia. German producer Siggi Tunezia has released numerous house tracks via European label Houseworx, despite a deep history rooted in hip hop. Many of his heavily infectious beats can be heard HERE.

JUDGE MENTAL.

MEET THE JUDGES OF THE "RICH GIRLS" UNFAMOUS REMIX CONTEST... PART FOE!

What it is, yawl.

I want you to meet da gawd Moon Satellite of Culture King. He's a big guy with a getle soul and a backpack full of #Lazers. Because of his constant search for ground-breaking musical creations and his experience as a producer/beat-maker extraordinaire, he'll be one of 5 cool folks judging the "Rich Girls" remix contest. Get to know him...

1. Who the hell are you? My name is Moonsatellite.

2. What the hell do you do in the music world? I run http://CultureKingMedia.com, the best hip-hop blog on the internet, pursue sonic excellence as an experience and degreed sound engineer, provide marketing expertise to the brightest talents of the past, present and future & sell the most engaging beats you'll hear this year.

ANACRON SAYS: You see that? The BEST hip hop blog on the internet... The sloths and gorillas logging on to Worldstar Hip Hop every day might beg to differ with you on that one, buddy-boy.

3. What the hell do you do outside of the music world? I enjoy life with as many good people, meals and experiences as possible. Once I'm done with my day, I queue up "Judge Mathis" and laugh as I wind down. Aside from music, I strive to immerse myself in gratitude.

ANACRON SAYS: This is the kind of answer that could make the average Joe feel really badly about his own life... That is, until he mentions daytime court TV; proving that we're really just all Poor White Trash on the inside.

4. Who are you top 3 favorite music producers/writers/composers? James "J Dilla" Yancey, George Clinton and Prince Rogers Nelson.

5. How would you beat a wolverine, a chimpanzee, and a shark in a fight? I'd convince Wolverine to wear his Yellow and Black costume from the 70's & 80's, so that he resembles a banana. The chimpanzee would go into pleasure overload thinking that he found a man-sized banana and beat Wolverine senseless. While Wolverine's arms are flailing around, his claws would cut and open the shark's tank, thus draining it. I wouldn't lift a finger. The end.

ANACRON SAYS: Yet another comic geek, confusing "A wolverine" with "THE Wolverine"... I wonder if this one is also unaware of the fact that the comic book character Wolverine derived his namesake from an actual real-life animal as well? Hmmmmm...

DILLA DEUCE.



Culture King pays homage to J. Dilla with "For The Love 2012"; an EP sequel featuring a reprise of my track, "Proverbial Slap", from the original "For The Love" EP. Download it FREE Tuesday, February 7, HERE.

COMPILED.

I've been pretty busy... Have you been keeping up?

Here are some original tracs featured on some great compilations so far this year.

More neat heaters to come, you know how I do!

Peace out, AnaManiacs, enjoy the jams.

BEATS.

The sad thing about the internet giving us access to all the freshness that the entire WORLD has to offer, is that it also seems to somehow prevent us from noticing the gems that are right under our noses. UNFAMOUS is all about not letting that happen. That being said, I regret to inform you that you are SLEEPING on some of the freshest, most innovative, ground-breaking hip hop(?) music that the West Coast has to offer, and this is your wake-up call!

Moon Satellite - Strange Dimensions EP

[FREE DOWNLOAD... get it NOW, do not wait!!!]

Well-known blogmaster and lesser-recognized beat-maker Moon Satellite has officially released an instrumental EP that is a certified mind-blower for anyone that is able to comprehend and appreciate that which spans beyond the typical 4/4 time signature hip hop standard. If this era in music were parallel to the evolution of jazz, this record would represent the inception of the free-jazz movement. Just like Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, and John Coltrane; Moon Satellite reaches and eclipses horizons not yet explored in electronic music production, hopefully creating a sound that will inspire the creative growth of the chosen few that will truly embrace and appreciate this offering.

I would hope that you've been downloading the EP while reading my brief review; however, if you're still not convinced, chec out the visual sampler below if you need an extra push to wrap your mind around something truly legendary...
